PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Citric acid Anhydrous, molecular formula C6H8O7, is a colorless translucent crystal or white granule or white crystalline powder, often containing a molecule of crystal water, odorless, extremely sour taste, soluble in water, alcohol and ether. Anhydrous citric acid can be obtained by controlling the appropriate temperature during crystallization. The aqueous solution is acidic. Slight weathering in dry air, deliquescence in humid air. Mainly used in food and beverage industry as sour agent, acidity regulator, flavoring agent, preservative and preservative. It is also used as antioxidant, plasticizer, detergent in chemical industry, cosmetic industry and washing industry.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Colorless and translucent crystalline or white granules, or white crystalline powder, often containing a molecule of crystal water, odorless, extremely sour in taste, soluble in water, alcohol and ether. Its calcium salt is more soluble in cold water than in hot water, and this property is often used to identify and separate citric acid. Anhydrous citric acid can be obtained by controlling the appropriate temperature during crystallization. The aqueous solution is acidic. Slight weathering in dry air, deliquescence in humid air. Above 175℃, it decomposes to release water and carbon dioxide.
Physicochemical properties: Relative density 1.542, melting point 153°C (water loss), refractive index 1.493~1.509, critical temperature of solution crystallization 36.6°C (crystals above 36.6°C are anhydrous citric acid, crystals below 36.6°C are citric acid monohydrate).
PRODUCT USAGE
Mainly used in food and beverage industry as sour agent, acidity regulator, flavoring agent, preservative and preservative. It is also used as antioxidant, plasticizer, detergent in chemical industry, cosmetic industry and washing industry.
PACKAGING & STORAGE
It should be placed in a cool and dry place indoors to avoid sun and rain.
